- Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,831, dated June 13, 1871.

I, NANCY DUNCAN, of Bee-ver Falls, Beerer County, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification:

Nuture and Object of The Invention.

The purpose of 1n y invention is to combine inv one article an open-iire heating-stove and a cook-stove in such a manner that its charaeteristic functions may be employed separately or together. My invention consists in combining with the grate of an open-front heating-stove a supplemental grat-e and re-eham ber immediately in the rear ofthe heatingselves to those familiar with the manufacture oi' the class ot' stoves to which my invention is germain.

Description.

Figure l is a perspective vien-'Cf a compound stove embodying' my invention, as seen from the front or open-lire side. Fig. 2 isa perspective view of the saine as seen from the rear or coole-stove side. Fig. 3 is a vertical section' through both parts of my stove.

Like letters refer to the saine parts in the drawinw.

u, is the front grate. b is the rear grate. c

is the division grate. d is an ash-pan and fender. e is the front nre-chamber. f is the rear tire-chamber. g is the top of lthe cook-stove. l1. is a baking-oven on the top ofthe heatingstove. i t' 'i t' are doors to close ti zfghtly the front tire-place when required. j is a door in the rear chamber, to supply nir or fuel when the front is Closed and it 'is desired to use. only the rear or cook-stove fire. k are the usual pot-holes. Y

Constructed thus, my improved stove may be used either as an open-tire heating-stove, or as a notk-stove, or as both at once', and re may be maintained singly in either tire-Chmn 7 ber or both. p

When it is intended to use both functions of the stove the division grating c is removed and may be suspended out of the Way against the bach Wall'on suitable hooks, as shown in Fig. l; or it may be entirelyv removed from the stove for the time being. Then it is intended to use` either iire chamber separately 'the division grate e is placed in the position shown in Fig. 3, and may be held in its vertical position by suitable lugs on the sides of the stoves, as shown at w. The dotted lines in Fig'. 3 show the position of, o when hunl against the back well out of use.- Y

Having` thus fully described all the el ements of my invention so that any one conversant with the business of making stoves can fully understand it, I desire to claim as my inven- 'tionn combination with a grate constructed substantiall y as set forth, the division plate or grate c, arranged and operated as described.
